    I have never seen anything other than carton boxes for eggs here in Norway. This comment actually baffled me that they came in anything other somewhere.

      Ours come in a clear plastic vacuum formed container, compressed paper carton, or Styrofoam, depending on the brand.

        That’s just fucked up. Clear plastic seems like the worst possible container as it gives little or no protection, and is obviously plastic which the world only needs less of.

          It’s usually multiple foldovers of semi rigid plastic similar to most water bottles around here. They seem to function well. It’s probably six or more 1 litre bottles worth of plastic though.

          It is the worst. The only pro is you can visible see if they are broken without opening anything.

      Same here in Sweden, there are som variations on what kind of carton boxes but never seen any plastic or styrofoam.
